A woman divorces her husband because he stood up for himself
Okay so I found this Medium article and I am actually losing my mind.
This stay at home wife openly admits she has not slept with her husband in over a year because she is touched out. Meanwhile this guy works fifty hours a week to keep a roof over her head.
The guy finally wakes up and stops giving her free validation. He stops being a doormat and what does she do? She snoops through his iPad finds out he is reading some psychology stuff and instantly calls him abusive and apparently divorces him.
I stg they do not truly love us they just want the utility and lifestyle we provide. The second you stop being a resource for them to extract from you are completely disposable. Read this garbage and tell me I am wrong.

Mary Bancroft’s Defiant Shadow Integration with Carl Jung
I've been diving deep into Mary Bancroft’s therapy sessions with Carl Jung. She once wrote about sitting down to send letters "telling a man about himself," calling it the exact opposite of playing "poor little me." She had an incredibly sharp, feisty spirit that often challenged Jung directly during her analysis.
From a Jungian perspective, this kind of fierce confrontation feels like a fascinating example of active shadow integration—refusing to default to a passive persona and instead forcing the tension of the unconscious out into the open.
How do you think her defiant attitude reflects the process of confronting and integrating the shadow? What are your thoughts on patients who openly challenged Jung's own authority during analysis?

Drop the situation you can’t stop thinking about. I'll found the root cause of reaction.
I'm testing the result of my long work and wanna see how it resonates with others. Just describe a situation you got under skin (at least 3-4 sentences) and I'll answer with analysis of it. Not more.
It's not therapy, not diagnostic, just analysis of situation.

I'm more mentally healthy when I'm not around others who try to force me into their lives as a side character.
I'm not even that introverted. I have found business success and joy in my "grind" with workouts and revenue-generating activity for my employer. Hate socializing, can do it well and mask, but prefer not to.
Often, people want to "pull me" away from internal harmonic rhythm and flow state. They want all of the "energy" that I am directing inwardly toward my daily goals and tasks to try and have that focus onto them.
Essentially bending over backwards to get attention, get into my line of sight, disrupt me with loud noise, strategically time approaches at exits/entrances after observing me, passive aggressive slamming, etc.
Men and women of all ages, and lots of staring because I'm not an ugly or common-looking individual. I'm sort of aromantic and not out looking for friends, and find it irritating when I'm trying to get shit done and focus. You can't seem to escape all the noise of humanity until about 12am to 4:30am weeknights.
I have labelled this external disruption and noise as "static," an adversarial almost.... entity to the above two concepts I linked to. It' s more of a state of mind/being that seems to overtake the limbic system.
I could make a cool little illustration about it here, but just posting this to sort out some philosophical thoughts that could help someone on their path.
